The context in which this happened matters a lot.

There have been tensions between the FIDE organization and top players like Carlsen since the latter have been promoting an alternative chess organization around Freestyle chess (aka Chesss960), which has slightly different rules.

I.e. this is less about "dress code enforcement" and it is more about "Carlsen is fed up with the FIDE organization in general".

Also the context is Magnus wasn’t best at this tournament. He was somewhere in middle in table and had less chances of converting. He has history of throwing tantrums when on tilt (Seinqfield 2022)

How come? I thought he was the best in the world by a fair margin.

>>stavro+MT
In classical chess, yes; in Blitz and Rapid he's still one of the best, but there's lots of good competition.

>>n2d4+1U
His edge in rapid/blitz is generally seen as much larger than in classical.

One of the biggest examples of this was in his title defense against Caruana. Every game of that match had been drawn, and in the final game Magnus had a very promising position where he could squeeze with basically no risk.

Instead he offered a draw which was immediately accepted. That sent the game to rapid tie breaks where he casually butchered Caruana 3-0.

Oh boy, offering a draw so he could annihilate Caruana in the next phase is a totally gangsta move. <whew>
